REPLY:

You are right to think that essential fatty acids are just THAT -

Essential. But drop the label (omega 6 etc) also drop the believe

system that is taught by those to advocate a less than natural diet

for man.

Essential fatty fatty acids are found in significant proportions in

tender green leafy veg and lettuce. A certain amount is found in

fresh fruit also. If one lives away from source, or eats non-organic

produce shortages may be a problem - as with other nutrients. It

seems to be of opinion that eating some lightly steamed green

vegetables (not carrots and other tubers) are more " beneficial " than

consuming a lot of fats, other than avocado (and only a limited

quantity of avocado at that)

 

Often, the human system does not APPEAR to react to toxins because

the system has " given up " reacting under the constant bombardment of

stressful lifestyle and/or less than optimal eating habits.

The effect of toxins may go unnoticed whilst deeper problems mount

up. This is how cancer forms for example.

 

We have been lead to believe we need flax in our diet. We have been

lead to believe we need all kinds of supplementary foods. These

beliefs only apply if one is following a less than optimal diet in

the first place.

 

At the end of the day BELIEF is all there is. A highly evolved Master

will not be affected by toxins if " He " chooses not to be. However, a

highly evolved Master may choose also, to eat optimal food OR " He "

may bless the food before consuming it.

We can change our belief symptoms and insert new " programs " . A

program to affirm that we are not deficient in essential fatty acids

and thus need to eat no supplementary foods such as flax.

 

In any event I can make a suggestion for you. One which works. Eat

your fat at the end of the day. Eating flax in the morning will slow

down sugar uptake from fruit that you eat later. You will notice an

increase in energy if you get the fat to the end of the day.

 

END-NOTE:

I live in the center of a busy town, situated in a valley. I am

producing alot of mucous in my throat and sinus's. Many people report

of that here; however I have noticed this to become worse since my

most recent fast. The body is attempting to keep itself clean by

producing the mucous.

I find that a good walk in the country on the weekend (I go with my

father who has a car) clears away the problem completely. I can

actually feel the change in air quality as we head back into town.

It is very frustrating; but in fact I am using the very same way of

affirming that I am UNAFFECTED by environmental pollution.

 

Olives are not an optimal food to eat. You might want to look back at

previous posts on olives. Elchanan posted some good articles on

olives in the summer. Just a suggestion

 

Namaste

Kay,

How do you know that? Can you cite a reference for your information,

please?

 

What I found in my Web research is this: Essential Fatty Acids

(EFAs) are necessary fats that humans cannot synthesize, and must be

obtained through diet. Found in flaxseed oil (flaxseed oil has the

highest linolenic content of any food), flaxseeds, flaxseed meal,

hempseed oil, hempseeds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, Brazil nuts, sesame

seeds, avocados, some dark leafy green vegetables (kale, spinach,

purslane, mustard greens, collards, etc.), canola oil (cold-pressed

and unrefined), soybean oil, wheat germ oil, salmon, mackerel,

sardines, anchovies, albacore tuna, and others.

 

Note that it says dark leafy green vegetables (which I don't eat),

not tender greens. And no mention of fruits, except for avocado.

 

Also, how much flax were you consuming that " damaged your system " ?

Okay, I'll switch my flax to the end of the day. I'm not sure how

I'll know that it " works, " though. I already have plenty of energy.
